Now they're just pissing me off. Yet another update that is just telling me I'm missing something. It's not like I don't try keywords over and over again - and it's not like I don't check all the stupid pages. I guess I'm going to have to back through ALL of the pages with a fine tooth comb to see if I've missed anything.

Well we're obviously missing one from the zombie prom page, but I guess there are some we skipped over too. Should we put on the wiki which keywords we can derive from a certain page?

For example, on the runes page, there are two keywords so far: orz and star control. According to the title though, there should be two more keys. I'm guessing they have to do with the first picture (blobbie).

I tried "blobbie" and "har" as keywords, but they take you to pollux.php, so I don't know if they count.

Whee! I found a new page!

Don't know why I didn't think of this before - I actually know how to read runes and I do know what they are called.

keyword: futhark

Finally, a new page! Nice work on the riddle, by the way (it's on the wiki):

[JoeUser]

OK, I've been trying a bunch of keywords, but nothing so far. We need to identify that "fefgdg" music; I've been playing it for people, trying to get them to recognize something.

Rowan, could you make different versions of the midi? Maybe down an octave or somehing? It's going to be something simple, but it's getting annoying!

Plus I still have no idea what ***|||*** -*|| is supposed to mean. I thought it had to be a different musical notation, but I 'm not sure.

Hello. I've been lurking for a while, and I finally have something usefull (I hope) to add.

About the fefgdg music. Earlier someone said it sounded like "Love me Tender". I agree, and I just wanted to add that the melody for Love me Tender is borrowed from a much older song called "Aura Lee". I already tried Aura Lee as a keyword with no joy, but thought I would mention it anyway in case it somehow leads to something.

Welcome! Thanks for joining us.

OK, it's a lot easier finding music for Aura Lee than Love Me Tender.

Here's a midi:

And a GIF of the music:

Looking at this version, we have CDC BAB as notes 2-7.
Moving those up or down 4 notes gives us FEF GDG.

Oh, here's an adjusted version with the right notes:

An update ...

So far I found something new on gilgamesh. It has the Ugaritic alphabet and some other pictures.

New text:

[vidstudent]

Checked the new directory...most of it is his programming and tests to ensure the ROT-8 was working. Also, there's daemon4.jpg and wunder0.mp3...

[rowan]

The picture on gilgamesh has a name that rots to "notarebus"

Not are bus? Some sort of play on words?

----

edit: thought on the picture

the eye, mouth, ear, brain might mean "See, Say, Hear, Think" - so if we say the ugarthic stuff outloud, it might sound like what we are supposed to be looking for?

[JoeUser]

Maybe "not Arebus"?

It seems to have some kind of mythological meaning, but I'm only getting vague results.
Though,

[rowan]

I think that fanfare is what we've been looking for. The last two measures are our mysterious "love me tender". I've used the higher octave version, added 2 more tracks with the same notes, and set the instruments identical so you can hear its the same thing.
